Look Ma, it's the end of the world again! This time brought on by Global Warming, which leads to melting permafrost and the release of supernatural forces punishing humanity for its hubris.
The Last Winter could very easily have become preachy and trite, but director Larry Fessenden goes -to my delight- for a subtle, low key and personal approach to his themes. Until the very end most of the things we see can be explained through simple human fallibility and stupidity. Only when the characters have no other choice than to accept the truth, do we as viewers have to do the same. Which is quite elegant.
The only problematic moment is some very bad CGI work very late in the movie.
